More About Gas,

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter
had an interview with Prof. Orton,
State Geologist, about the all absorbing
question. and among other things OBJ
tanned the following information from
the Professor:
AS thousands of dollars are being
wasted every day in drilling holes in
the ground and finding no gas, people
are beginning to pay more attention to
the geoligist. They are finding out
that geology can tell them more about
the subject than was supposed. In
Cleveland they have one we'll which
was drilled over 5000 feet and cost $40,
900. This is too expansive to be practic-
able. If the people of many of these
localities where they are spending
thousands of dollars drilling holes in
the ground and finding nothing, as the
geological formations indicate, would
turn their attention to produce gas
much more would be accomplished
Artificial gas can now be made for an
extremely low figure, so low that it
will never pay to put 500, 900 in q natur-
al gas we'll in an unfavorable locality.
Producer gas is now made from slack,
oil is also used in making it, and both
make very cheap fuel.
Some of the towns which bored for
gas and found none are now boring in
places where Prof. Orton informed
Them they would most likely find gas,
and he fully expects them to get it,
They are Kenton, Forest, Lima, Upper
Sandusky and other towns. The Nj
agara limestone, which overlies the
trenton and seems to be certain indi-
cation of gas, is found within five miles
of these places. They have bored in
the water limestone and found moth
ing, as predicted, and will now bore in
Niagara.

sB" When the Democrats came into power
the Board of Review of Pensions was over
three years behind with their work. Pension
Commissioner Black went to work in earnest
in the matter, and on the first of this month
had every case disposed of up to date. This
work was done with a reduced force of clerks,
but all were kept Systematically at work, and
were not sent out electioneering over the
country three months in the year as had been
the rule under the Republican administration.
Pensioners have much to thank the Demo-
cratic Commissioner for in this working for
their interests.

~ A new trade for women is that of
'neighborhood darner." The woman who
follows it has for her customers dozen or
twenty households, each Of which she visits
weekly and spends few hours in doing up
the family darning and mending, including
ripping and cleansing of old gowns. Her
engagements are systematized, and she never
lacks work. Some of these members make a
specially of repairing lace and other delicate
fabrics. The pay is fairly good, and the pro-
fessional mender is great blessing to busy
housekeepers with large families.

great economic and political question of the
day is not between free trade and tariff, but
between necessary taxation for the support

THE NEW THE TER

can scarcely be considered from the ex-
terror as yet, as the work in that direc-
ton is not near enough completion,
though it has sufficiently progressed to
show commanding elevation that will
be unique and pleasing when the finish
ing touches have been bestowed. Its
feature is its entire difference from any
thing else in the vicinity, and
indeed in the Northwest, and
this feature of distinction is
carried all the way through. The GLOBE
has already given an elaborate descrip-
ton of the building and it's appoint
ments, and it is only necessary to say
here that last night the beautiful effects
were enhanced thousand fold-there
was all the difference between beauti-
full form in death and the same form,
when instinct with lovely life.
Though the dramatic attraction
was great, it was only superior
to the house itself and to the
wonderful audience it contained. The
evening was a decided success from
every point of view, and the new theater
has been ushered, with all possible eclat,
into active being. Manager Weadon

win Leave che Knights.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The statement is
published here to-day that all the Chi
cagO Knights of Labor engaged in cul-
mary work are about to withdraw from
the order and form a district assembly
of their own, to be known as the Chi
cag0 Culinary union. The assemblies
to go into the project are the following:
Meat cooks, pastry cooks, oyster cooks,
hotel and restaurant walters white and
colored), confeetioners, bakers dread,
cracker and pie) and all kitchen help.
All with the exception of one of the
bakers unions are assemblies of the
Knights of Labor, but the chances are
that after then they will probably hand
in their designations to the district. The
new organization will contain between
5000 and 1000 men. The trouble is said
to be mainly caused by the negligence
of the general officers in Philadelphia.
The local secretaries are in communica-
ton with similar assemblies i'll Denver,
Kansas City, Cincinnati, New York, St.
Louis, Louisville, New Orleans, Brook
Ign, Buffalo and Boston, and the Knights
Of these cities, it is asserted, will take
similar action.

DRAMATIC. NOTES.

An audience that filled the upper tiers and
made good showing on the lower floor
gathered at the opera house last night to
witness that spectacular extravaganza with
sort of Arabian Night plot known as 1.-THE
DEVILS Auction" The play is substantially
the same as when seen here last season, the
same scenery, costumes, ballets and special
ties. There has Been no diminution in the
number of people required to successfully
present the bewildering succession of kalei-
doscopic novelties and surprises. IGNAcIo
MARTINETTI, as the transformed donkey, and
EDITH MURILLA, the milkmaid, continue to
be the popular artists Of the company. The
contortionists, and the acrobats, and the
ballet dancers and MooLEY are still part of
the attractive features. There are the same
mechanical contrivances and transformation
scenes Of singular rapidity, originality and
beauty. The audience was warmly enthusi-
astic, and punctuated the performance with
loud and frequent applause.
''The Devils Auction will be repeated
every night this week and Saturday matinee.

The wheat receipts for Saturday and Sun
day were the largest ever known with one
exception, during last winter, on the 18th of
November, in the history of the chamber of
commerce, and reached the grand total of
I'll cars, containing 1913, $50 bu of wheat.
Messrs. Holmes Il Co. got rid of sixty-eight
car loads, selling them in lots to different
parties and at different prices. One lot OF
ten cars went at64c. lot of No. 1 Northern

Among the railroads that carried the wheat
in Saturday and Sunday, the Manitoba
handled 1897 carloads out of the big total.
There is this to say. however, the most of it
was very low grade stuff.
In samples trade was brisk they were
more plentiful than for very long time and
in consequence the market dragged along,
owing to the large quantities of stuff to be
handled.
In the speculative market the tendency
seems toward better prices. Duluth prices
were firmer in tone, especially in october,
and Chicago made a slight header upwards

After many weeks of waiting with
the time we'll put in with promises of
what would be-the new Hennepin Az
enne theater was formally dedicated
last night. In its completion and in
auguration it has fully redeemed its
promises, and its claim to the finest
theater in the Northwest is not without
foundation. 1t is true the pretty temple
was not seen at its very best, and it was
not to be expected that everything
would work with practiced smooth
ness ON the opening night of
a new theater, but enough was
scene to give full evidence of what the
Hennepin avenue will be in the near
future. There was, last night, enough
of excitement, enthusiasm, the glitter
of blue and gold and the blaze of bright
lights to account for any possible little
shortcoming in the way of opening de-
fectS, and everything was complete
success from every stand point. If
Manager WeadOn was smiling, debOn-
air and contentedly happy, it was on all
sides conceded as his right, under the
circumstances.

Shot Her AssaiIant.

BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Sept. ia
tragedy occurred at Horrodsburg, near
here, yesterday, in which Ellsworth
Anderson was fatally wounded Mrs
Sarah Meadows is respectable widow
living alone in that place with her
three little children. About midnight
she heard some one at the door, and,
upon asking who it was, she recognized
the voice of Anderson, who is a des-
perate character. Half frightened, she
ordered him away, threatening to shoot
him if he did not go. Anderson left
for the time, but in about an hour re-
turned and began pounding on the
door. Mrs. Meadows got a revolver,
and no sooner did she have hold of it
than the door came open and Anderson
fell in the room. Instantly the woman
fired, and Anderson started to run, cry
ing for help. He soon fell to the
ground. An examination proved that
the ball had entered about the center of
the breast, lodging in the spinal column.
